My Vgate works with HobDrive (paid version), setup isn’t intuitiv, follow @Rational ’s video for guidance (post #6 above).Now that, in the last day I have figured out how to use Hobdrive I may get one of those cheap options that work with Hobdrive.
The dongles I have are Vgate Icar pro and Veepeak obd2 scan tool. Neither will read the OBD codes using Car Scanner or Hobdrive in either IMEV but are all fine in newer cars eg Our BYD Atto and Ora.
It can also be used with OBDZero but no joy with CarScanner/Canion..
